Not Bad For 1953
16 July 2012
Benaeth The 12 Mile Reef was released in the United States on December 2, 1953 starring Robert Wagner, Terry Moore, and Gilbert Roland. The picture starts with Tony Petrakis diving with other Greeks for a cross that is under water. Tony is the one who fines the cross and returns to the surface as the winner. Tony and his father Mike celebrate his sons win with a Greek party. Mike and Tony are Greek American father and son sponge diving entrepreneurs who decide there going to the Florida Keys to dive for sponges. While diving they are greeted by Thomas Rhys family who wants no stinking Greeks diving in there waters. Therefore, the Rhys takes all the sponges that Mike and his family have gathered and steals them. While out celebrating there, conquest the party is crashed by Mike and Tony. Sparks fly between Tony and Thomas Rhys daughter Gwyneth Rhys. The two run off together into the woods. The next day Tom and Tony go out again and Tom has an accident.

Here are some questions for you. What happen to Tom when he went diving? What does the Rhys have against Tom and Tony diving in the Keys? What is the Rhys afraid that they're going to lose if they let Tom dive? Does anything happen between Tony and Gwyneth? What lengths if any does the Rhys go to keep Tom and Tony from diving?

My Thoughts On This Movie! If you can get through the first 10 minutes of the movie, you will be fine. The movie was filmed of the coast of Key West, in the FloridaKeys, in Florida. The movie kept my attention throughout the movie because of the underwater filming in the Keys. However, this movie had no leading lady so therefore I'm giving this movie just 5 weasel stars.
